This is what happens, jynier

Continue uninterrupted....

Well, I had my ego stroked. sort of. I went to the supermarket and got some stuff for our dinner and some fags. I queued up behind the fattest man I've ever seen. He was buying 10 super large packets of baby nap pies which is by the by.
He couldn't get all his shopping in his trolley, so I said I'd let him use my one and help him downstairs with it.
We strolled over to his car, he unloaded all his stuff then offered to take my solitary medium bag to my car because you are a lovely lady, I don't think so, I am 5"10' of blubbering fat. When I declined he asked me for my phone number, I said I didn't have a phone so he tried to give me 20 ringett (about a tenner). i said no. He insisted so DD now has another bit of cash for her kidney.

Morning, I have been catching up on my sleeping, came to bed at 9.10pm yesterday and slept till 6.30am. so missed all the night time chat.
Hugs for all who need 'em. What are workmen going to o to your flat cafe?

wow mini!! amazing sleep..... so do you feel beautifully rested or do you have a sleep hangover instead?

Me too once again slept like the dead! You've all had a busy night!!

I do feel rested. On with the mits and nose to the desk. Hope all who have been awake most of the night get the rest they need.

tutorial done, flat sparkling, lectures skived.. efficient use of time, 3 pain au chocolats consumed including a particularly amazing one from paul - with almonds as well as pain as well as chocolat

I'm sure all the exertion of cleaning burnt that off some hours previous

tubegirl yes worried I have overshared- ah well ho hum. was very stressful at the time

amazing sleeps!! well done you lot

where is summerdad he has missed the 69 chat

rips that is nice. sort of you are lovely for helping though and at 5'10!!

Well done cafe< hands out chocolate medal> you are superwoman.
Now stop it, i am feeling inadequate

blimey cafe we're exhausted just reading that hope your workmen didn't make any mess

Wow Cafe how domesticated!!!

Love the sound of your day 'grapes .

Hi all. Well would you believe my babu slept for 10 hrs straight last night! That's why you didn't hear from me. We spent the morning snuggling my friend's tiny newborn and the afternoon making shortbread to give as a gift to my good friend who I should be seeing on Friday but has just had to cancel

Sooo, all-butter shortbread anyone?

I've got lots to catch up on so it might take me some time.

Hi to newbies

to stars (I've skimmed )

How lovely Kitty you must feel soooo much better!!!

Bad news my end - DS2 aged 19 (drug user & all round major worry) has been sent to prison (again) for assaulting his exgf & 2 police officers. Sigh ..........

midwife what a worry for you. That one is tough to handle. grab one of Kitty's shortbreads.

Nom nom - off the diet & eating sugar today!

as you were

oh themidwife- what a terrible worry for you - no sensible words- how long is the sentence? I used to be up to speed with criminal law (helped edit a textbook) but now not so much. does he have good representation? how many times has he been in? big big cafe squidge hug

[grabs 3 shortbreads in 3 trips]- LOVE shortbread

I was very domesticated! I can't believe my entire apartment is spotless. I feel strange. And I went all the way zone 1-zone3 and back this morning, and also went to zone 4 this evening for a class. I am so tired. I can't sleep though. Was lying in bed awake last night for ages.

weird day hey grapes- sunny then blizzards! sounds like a good one for you

actually- I was NOT that domesticated - I was like, er, can I offer you tea or coffee.... I have no biscuits, because I ate them.. and I had a really great pain au chocolat but I ate that too.. ''do you have any milk'' er... no....

TERRIBLE domestication levels !

He's been in 4 times now. I don't know how long or where he is yet. He has SO many offences against him now, some of which very violent. The police & probation have tried so hard to work with him to prevent reoffending & keep him out of prison.

hug for midwife :(

(He's 19 & left home at 16)

So sorry, *Midwife99" - Do you know how he first got into drugs? I only ask because I have known quite a few young people who have been co-erced into dealing. I blame the people at the top of the drugs chain. A young woman was given the house next door to me (she was only 20) and it became obvious that she was using the place as a drugs/party den! I live in a small village and knew most people who were visiting but the police would not take me seriously. I think that they were in cahoots with the drug barons but don't quote me!

oh themidwife . That's so shitty and so sad. I'm so sorry to hear that. It must be so hard for you to witness and must make you feel do powerless. Kitty-flavoured hugs and squeezes too, for what they are worth. I'm sorry, I've no advice to offer. Be kind to yourself (A phrase I've learnt on here recently and think I like. I think it is open to some very useful interpretation)

Mrs for you too. If you are out there munching on my shortbread I agree with cafe and jynier that you need some time out to get clear, rest, recharge, whatever. Regroup, I believe it is called. A number of years ago I had a run of stresses, nothing like what you or themidwife are experiencing, and my legs just stopped working one day. I literally ran myself into the ground. I had to take 2 months off work and then have a very slow return to work plan. I know you said you would reread so I hope you don't think I'm nagging.

cafe you were very brave sharing your experiences below. thank you I agree with what you are saying to mrs but dare I say "physician heal thyself"? Busy Dr Cafe. Glad you are enjoying the shortbread.

Glad you are all enjoying my sweet treats
